2017 Tate Chardonnay with Asian Food
After a round of golf in 70 degrees, a refreshing 2017 Tate Chardonnay with a light dinner. It is both an old world Chardonnay with finesse and slight citrus hints, combined with a new world style, with just the right amount of oak and a controlled secondary malolactic fermentation, to create a slight butter taste to this intoxicating white gem. On the eye a light golden color and medium viscosity. Aromatics are slightly floral. Lemon and grapefruit abound with a slight fresh peach. Bright, crisp and very clean made by extraordinary winemaker David Tate. Paired with shrimp tempura and pork & vegetable pot stickers with soy sauce and sweet and spicy dipping sauce. #wine #tatewines #davidtate #tatewine #napavalleychardonnay
